>>36841) as a meme: he's fun, his image has always been a sketch, he's edgy if you come from a religious background or are around stuck up moralists - basically, kids like him and he's a good argument against all kinds of "common sense" and "morals" arguments
2) as a philosopher: he's a good example of the bourgeoisie's philosophical fight for freedom, individuality, secularism, etc. and he took the fight against humanism too, and against freedom as well so it's a good inflection point where freedom is shown to be unfreedom, and the boundaries of the individual and the inner knowability of the individual are challenged, and liberal ethics comes into conflict with its self (individualism vs humanism, individual will versus systems of social hierarchy). It's obviously not a fully fleshed out philosophy without contradiction or loose ends, but it's a really cool point between petite-bourgeois and proletarian radicalism (that is to say, the one leading into the other, albeit in incomplete fashion).
